How you start your 1st BMU can make or break your rep.

These 3 athletes who had little problem with the Log Muscle Ups all had 1 thing in common: how they jumped and started their first rep!

Feet behind & in front, hips back & patieeence until hips have passed the rig all set you up for a very loaded spring to get you over the bar. Something you definitely need with the log, but also implies for your first "regular" BMU from the ground!

Wall Walk class by is in session!

I noticed 3 things that made his Wall Walks smoother than his winks to the camera and wanted to share 'em with ya:

1. Just touching the line at the wall with his finger tips. You don't get brownie points for lingerin at the end of the wall so get down as quick as ya can!

2. One small step, than big steps. This is a technique that has shown recently as well, which makes such a difference!

3. Going down in a solid plank, not flopping down hips first. Harry had the quickest rebound on the floor!

Take notes and try one of these out next time you have Wall Walks!

Keep those elbows tucked in people!

Missing your turnover? Are you elbows flaring out? If so: try to do some dips with your elbows to the side. Oh right...that feels not good...because it's not! Keep elbows to the side and you have a much better time!

Shout out to: for the audio and video inspiration!

Doing a big chest to bar pull up instead of a BMU?

Try this great tip from .co to think of doing a med ball slam to feel the push down with the arms

Tip so good I almost gave myself a concussion by landing so high 🤣

Do a few before your next BMU session and let me know how it goes!

I'll die on this hill that tuck ups are the best strength exercise for kipping BMU!

But, if you haven't got them yet, here's a great starting point!

Go grab yourself some for an easy low bar set up. Set that bar up at chest height, wrap a band around your lower back and do 3-5 negative reps. Easy? Remove the band, jump up to the end position and lower down again. If you can comfortably do a 10 sec negative like this... go ahead and try an RX tuck up ;).

P.s. got 3 tuck ups? You'll probably be strong enough for a BMU!

Want more of my guidance? I have a full 8 week BMU base strength program in my bio! + you can stalk me and send videos for technique review when you do the program too!

One of the things I struggled most with when I started CrossFit, as a non-athletic background average joe, was having body awareness.

I could do 1 thing with my arms, but then my legs had their own brain and did something completely uncontrolled 🤣.

One thing that helped me a lot was squeezing a kneesleeve inbetween my legs during kipping toes to bar/pull-ups/bmu, so I didnt have to think so much about my legs! Auto-pilot tension was nice. And once I did this for a few weeks, I automatically (ok maybe with 1 brain cel thinking about it) kept tension!

Recently I thought "why not literally glue my feet together with a mini band?". Which helped a lot as well! And is even more unforgiving than a knee sleeve 🤣. Though; be careful of the dismount folks!

Tigher = lighter and helps a lot with moving as 1 powerful unit in Gymnastics!

Try it out and see if helps!

If I had one last lesson to give about banded muscle ups, this is the one I wouldn't skip!

Banded BMU can be a great tool IF and only IF you know which positions/puzzle pieces you need to get one without bands.

But if you don't, and you slap on some thick boyyzz you will probably set yourself up for failure and teach yourself bad movement patterns...

Like: not having a big patient arch (which is hard to do with bands anyways...)

And worst of all; having your legs swing behind the bar when you do your turnover.

Thicqqq bands will get you over that bar regardless. And will stroke that ego. But removing them? Now you've got a problem...

Big arch makes for big power to push you behind the bar & you need to keep those legs in front to balance yourself over the bar. If the legs swing back: you will pull yourself away from the bar!

Do these two things correctly and you can use the bands a good bridge to learning the full movement... but this danger of teaching yourself bad habits is why I don't prescribe them in my personalised 1:1 online coaching until I know my students can keep good habits...

Want to know more tips for your BMUs? Then you're in the right place! And if you're not sure where to begin with muscle ups...I have an 8 week base program that you can check out through the link in bio!
